Editor’s note: The following is a press release from the Washington State Department of Transportation.
Washington State Department of Transportation have started work to repair a culvert that runs under State Route 165 in Burnett today, June 22.
Travelers can expect intermittent daytime lane reductions and one-way alternating traffic, Monday through Friday, through the month of July. Steel plates will cover sections of the roadway during construction.
Whenever near work zones please:
- Slow down – drive the posted speeds, they’re there for everyone’s safety.
- Be kind – Workers are out there helping to keep everyone safe and improve the roadways.
- Pay attention – both to workers directing traffic and to fellow travelers.
This work is related to a culvert failure that occurred earlier this year, causing water to cover the highway and adjacent properties.
